The Chanhassen Athletic Association (CAA) has a tradition of providing a broad spectrum of athletic and social opportunities for area youth and their families. The City of Chanhassen is pleased to have the CAA operating within the Community and has enjoyed working with its many members and officers over the years. In reviewing your proposal, I assembled the following staff members: Jerry Ruegemer, Recreation Superintendent, Josh Metzer, Planner I, Greg Sticha, Finance Director and Todd Gerhardt, City Manager. To provide clarity in our response I will address each item individually. 1. Advertisine: Sie:nae:e: It is our position that permìtting advertising signageas described in your proposal is not in the City's best interest. Here are some·ofthe reasons why we hold this position. ~ These fields/parks are public property ,paid for byallresiden~s and owned and operated by the City of Chanhassen. Topermìtaprivate party/association to utilize· these properties for advertising would suggest that other private parties/associations should receive the same right. ~ The financial return to the Cityas.proposed is not large enough to justify consideration of the proposed agreement. ~ Advertisingsignage atthe proposed level would have a significant visual iIIlpactinour commuruty..It isjust these types.ofVi~Ual displays that many of (Jur City codes restrict. Again, withoút . significantbeJlefit to{he City and all residents, granting this requestis not in thebestinterest·of the Community. 2. Score<B.oards: We do not have significant concerns ovenhe proposal to installscorebOardsat atJJ.lepcfacilities. It is our position that scoreboards as an amenityriseåbove the level of basic public services. We recommend that the CAA initiate a discussion with the Park and Recreation Commission concerning the perceived value of scoreboards as a public amenity. In the event that the Commission agrees with your assessment, they could make a recommendation to the City Council to install scoreboards. Private funds could also be raised to finance scoreboards followed by a proposal to donate these amenities. Donations over $500 are subject to City Council approval. The City 01 Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play. 15'b - CITY OF CHANHASSEN POLICY STATEMENT Naming or Re-naming Public Facilities and Inftastructure Background: From time-to-time the Council is asked through a request or initiates itseH: an action to name or re-name a public facility and/or infÌ'astIUcture improvement.
